Life in Technicolor

The most unfortunate part of my Thanksgiving break, is having to suffocate myself with ACT Prep information. In truth, blogging, at the moment, has been my only chance to come up for air. Hopefully, word does not get out that I did. In the lyrics of Maroon 5, "Is there anyone out there, cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe?!" Life lately, well, for starts, I have had to do more than one person can accomplish, furthermore, my youth minister and choral director all have left within the same year. It's really nothing to get all torqued out about, but for a small town with severely bore some activities, you take advantage of all the little things. It's been..I don't know, two months, maybe, since our choral director (I'll refer to him as Mr. Bear out of courtesy and respect) was relieved from work.

Honestly, no one saw it coming, in fact, people were beginning to think Mr. Bear was "on a role," if you will. Personally, I thought Mr. Bear was permanently going to stay, because of all the wonderful things he brought into our choral program. Mr. Bear was an exceptional director and friend, and no one can replace him and all the memories he made at our high school. What's worse, is that he was also our show choir director, and without him, the show seems to have fallen apart. We no longer I have our choreographers either, due to being on Mr. Bear's side of the argument, and they don't want to help out, if Mr. Bear is not reinstated. I fear that it is extremely unlikely that he will. I don't think much of the public sees that we are a military covered in glitter, and, in truth, that's a bit of an understatement. I also don't think that many people see that we are a family, and the sweat and blood and tears all majorly contribute into our show to not only be a fantastic performance, but a memorable one. I wish that our school board could see that....but enough venting about that. Honestly, tears are coming up right now. Oh, right, my youth minister. Now that we're on a depressing subject, my youth minister, let's just refer to him as Mr. That Guy--his favorite saying--found a better job at Trinity Pres. in Montgomery, Alabama. I guess it's for the best, since God says that we need to reach out to all unbelievers. Lately, with the state I'm in, that news destroyed this "emotional fort," I've built for myself. This town seems to be tormented by all this mass chaos.


It NEVER ends!!
P.S. Yes, I did take those pictures...

Access Denied, Run and Hide!

   So as of January 5th, 2011, our wonderful school decides to block, not only everything at school, but at home too! GREAT! I understand they are trying to keep us safe and protected, but I wish they would give us a little more freedom at home...I mean really? Block Facebook at home? I know that some of the students have taken advantage of this privilege, but is there a way to block just them, and not everyone else? :( Students, I say run and hide, because if your computer can still access facebook, youtube, etc. then you better hope you can keep it for as long as you can! I wish there was a way you could set restrictions on some applications and websites and not necessarily block them. That would be huge! :) I love how our school keeps searching for new ways to help us learn, but every which-away the plan turns into chaos! For instance, next year, they plan to put us on a blocked schedule, giving us four classes between the two semesters, and getting out earlier. Good Deal! Though, I am preparing for the worst, because as I have anticipated for a more modern way to learn, it has ended up in all of my good go-to-sites-for-research have been...BLOCKED! OH WELL! Apparently, it's all for the best.  Eventually, I might intend to turn my computer in for textbooks, because my problems would be solved, and I would not have to worry about sinking into deeper water.
